Also, I would like to know:
If a "user" has used some proprietory software (on a linux-based
operating system) and tells the group about his/her experience with the software,
is it acceptable by the group ?
If yes, then if the person who developed it, or someone who's connected
directly or indirectly with the software, tells the group about the
software, THEN is it acceptable ?
If no, then it simply means that all discussions regarding non-free stuff
is unacceptable by the group.
